| Juan Arellano, a legend in Philippine architecture |
I found myself at the National Museum of the Philippines once again, this time with friends from Malaysia and Australia who were touring the City of Manila. Unfortunately, we arrived 30 minutes to closing time so we were not able to explore most of the galleries. One of those we missed was the Arellano Room at the National Art Gallery. It's dedicated to painter and architect Juan M. Arellano who's renowned for creating the zoning plan of the city of the Manila as well as the design of the Metropolitan Theater and the old Legislative Building (now the National Museum), among others.
